The Assembly - Never Never

Feargal Sharkey had a peculiar voice. I wouldn't say I liked "A good heart", but "Never Never" simply worked for me.

Vince Clarke formed the Assembly after leaving Yazoo. Never Never was the only single and it sounded as gorgeous as his other ballads during the period.

The instrumental passage on the extended version was remarkable, (listen to that acoustic guitar sample) it's just so difficult to find after 20 years. In the meantime, the 7" version can serve the purpose.

Never Never
